[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 3rd, the United Future Party criticized President Moon Jae-in's appointment of Park Ji-won as Director of the National Intelligence Service and Lee In-young as Minister of Unification, as well as the appointment of Suh Hoon as Director of the National Security Office and Im Jong-seok and Chung Eui-yong as presidential foreign and security advisors, calling it an "unprecedented revolving-door personnel move that leaves the public with nothing but sighs amid stagnant inter-Korean-US relations and a security crisis."

United Future Party spokesperson Bae Jun-young said in a verbal statement that day, "In the end, the Blue House did not assess the capabilities needed to overcome the crisis and did not acknowledge their policy failures."

Spokesperson Bae pointed out, "They placed the former North Korea policy line, responsible for the current crisis, in positions where a new strategy with a changed stance toward North Korea should be formulated," and asked, "Does this mean they intend to push forward with the already failed North Korea policy without any revisions?"

Spokesperson Bae added, "Even now, when a thoroughly security-conscious North Korea policy is necessary, if the government insists on its 'my way,' the strong security and cooperation with allied countries that the public hopes for will now be out of reach."
